[laughter] after all, a whopping 83% of americans approve of it. even among liberal democrats 77% endorse the use of drones. and those remaining 23% of liberal holdouts are just the same spoilsports who eventually ruined the iraq war, the japanese internment camps, and the 1902 law permitting the irish to be catapulted into the sea.
